Control Cockroaches in Challenging Environments

To your commercial kitchen customers, nothing is more important than their reputation. Sightings of cockroaches anywhere food is processed, stored, or served could damage their reputations, local health department ratings, and profitability. Yet, that’s a risk whenever insecticides demonstrating cockroach resistance and repellency are used in any commercial kitchen account.

BASF Complete Cockroach Protocol includes Alpine® and Phantom®

non-repellent insecticides. Together, Alpine and Phantom insecticides offer a cockroach solution that will:

• Eliminate repellency issues• Manage resistance• Protect your and your

customers’ reputations,local health departmentratings, and profitability

Specific Benefits of Alpine®

and Phantom® Insecticides that Control Cockroaches

Advantages of Alpine® WSG Water Soluble Granule and PT® Alpine® Pressurized Insecticides include:

• Fast-acting non-repellent insecticides: start killingcockroaches within minutes

• Scheduling flexibility per label: Crack & Crevice®,void, and spot treatments may be made while a foodhandling facility is in operation

• Reduced Risk Status: Contains dinotefuran, the onlyactive ingredient granted Reduced Risk Status by theEPA for use in both public health and food handlingestablishments

Advantages of Phantom® Termiticide-Insecticide and PT® Phantom® II Pressurized Insecticide include:

Using non-residual, repellent insecticides, such as pyrethrins, in your commercial kitchen accounts can be useful in flushing cockroaches from harborage areas. On the other hand, using repellent, residual pyrethroid insecticides increases the risk of unwanted roach sightings and bait contamination during and following treatment.

Repellent Insecticides Cause Cockroaches to Scatter

• Does NOT fragment or spread cockroaches into more sensitive areas likedining rooms and reception areas

• Does NOT stop roaches from foraging across a treated surface• Does NOT contaminate Alpine cockroach gel bait placements• Does NOT interfere with roaches feeding on bait or around treated area• Does NOT disrupt cockroach feeding behavior if bait placements are nearby

Figure 1: Results show that neither Phantom® termiticide-insecticide nor Alpine® WSG Water Soluble Granule insecticide interfere with feeding on bait placements when applied on or around treated areas.

“Alpine® cockroach gel bait rotation 1 reservoir/Alpine WSG insecticide was the most effective treatment and gave 100± 0% mortality within 3 hours of bait application in susceptible and bait-averse German cockroaches and American cockroaches. No repellency was observed in any cockroach strain/species when the Alpine cockroach gel bait rotation 1 reservoir was treated with Alpine WSG insecticide.”

Sustainable Approach to Managing Cockroach Resistance

• Residual Insecticide Rotation Plan: Alpine andPhantom insecticides both contain different modes ofaction, active ingredients, and classes of chemistry thatare also different from pyrethroids

• Phantom’s Chemistry Minimizes the Chance of Developing Resistance:

- Its active ingredient, chlorfenapyr, is a pro-insecticide- Chlorfenapyr’s mode of action (uncouplers of oxidative

phosphorylation) is different from all other registeredinsecticides because it disrupts energy production atmultiple target sites within the cells

Pyrethroid is neutralized by insect’s own enzymes as part of its metabolism

Molecule is altered by the insect’s own internal process

Sprayed on or around insect

Cockroaches are less likely to develop resistance to

Phantom pro-insecticides because:

Chlorfenapyr in its original form

Advantages of Phantom pro-insecticides:

• After entering the insect, it is metabolized into achemical form that is more toxic to the insect thanin its original form

• Since the insect’s own chemical reaction createsthe more toxic form of the active ingredient,the chance of developing resistance to the activeingredient is minimized

Limitations to pyrethroid insecticides:

• Insects use their internal enzymes to break downinsecticides, such as pyrethroids

• Resistant strains may possess higher levels or moreefficient forms of these enzymes

• Insects destroy the toxin or quickly rid their bodiesof the toxic molecules

Strains of a species no longer react negatively to a particular active ingredient.

When roach populations are exposed to insecticides containing the same active ingredient, those with the resistant gene survive.

The survivors reproduce and pass on their resistance to their offspring.

The resistant population grows. The cycle is repeated when the same insecticide is continually used.

Over time the resistant roaches will become numerous in population.

The treatment result could cost you time and money for retreatments, as well as jeopardize your commercial kitchen customers’ reputations, local health department ratings, and profitability.

Cockroaches may become resistant to traditional insecticides

OManage Resistance in Cockroaches with a Residual Insecticide Rotation Plan:

1. Apply PT Alpine or Alpine WSG insecticides duringregular service visits (e.g. weekly/monthly calls)

2. Apply PT Phantom II pressurized insecticide orPhantom termiticide-insecticide quarterly whenrotating Alpine cockroach gel bait rotation 1 and2 reservoirs

Strains of a species no longer react negatively to a particular active ingredient.

When roach populations are exposed to insecticides containing the same active ingredient, those with the resistant gene survive.

The survivors reproduce and pass on their resistance to their offspring.

The resistant population grows. The cycle is repeated when the same insecticide is continually used.

Over time the resistant roaches will become numerous in population.
